Suddenly painfully slow on Kindle

I had a few days off so I spent way too much time trying out plugins. For a few days now, koreader on Kindle Oasis is painfully slow. I never experienced that in the last 5ish years. At this point I think a clean install would be a good idea. Can anybody help me out how to do this?

My new petal drop socks

Drying in the sun, can't wait to try them on ☀️ Pattern is petal drop socks by Florence miller, I added the contrasting color and striped cuff. Yarn is linen tweed by Rico design and some regia for the contrast color. Wouldn't recommend the linen tweed since it was pretty uncomfortable to knit.

Water handheld thingy they had in restaurants to keep kids busy in the 90s

I haven't seen them for around 30 years until I found this today (obviously not original, but it made me feel so nostalgic!)

How can I turn my old android ereader into a frame?

I have an old black and white ebook reader running android that I want to turn into a digital frame. I want it to show some kind of slideshow with changing pictures every few hours. Bonus points for showing custom quotes. Are there any android apps that I could use for this scenario? Thank you all in advance, I appreciate any idea

I was blessed with this banger today, found it in a free swap/donation box. I wanted one for ages but they sell for ridiculous prices on eBay I refuse to pay. This is just so nostalgic and makes me really happy!

(It says "protect our environment" on the bottom. They were sold by a German supermarket chain in the late 80s/early 90s and probably every household had one of those. It was probably some kind of green washing campaign since they also printed this on their plastic bags. I also read they printed a frog and a turtle because the company stopped selling frog legs and turtle soup back then, which their marketing team translated to environment friendly)

A few weeks ago I asked here (https://www.reddit.com/r/Sockknitting/comments/1skdy09/how_to_repair_this_socks/) how to repair a pair of socks. I decided to frog a part of them, inspect the yarn and reuse it. Today I finished the second sock and I like them so much I'd actually wish they were my size 🙃 Here's the link to the ravelry project in case somebody is interested in the pattern: https://www.ravelry.com/projects/Rockingsteady/scrap-freestyle-baby-socks
